Playoffs just around the corner. Today/tomorrow's results will determine who plays who.
Cavs have looked a little shaky, but have still managed to be 1st or 2nd. Their last two losses to Atlanta have been telling.

Playoffs staring in half hour.
East:
1. Boston Vs. 8. Chicago (C's - Managed to finish 1st. Bulls might test them. Bulls - Almost cant believe they scrapped in, but feel like they might find their second wind in the post-season).
2. Cleveland Vs 7. Indiana (I think could be entertaining series).
3. Toronto Vs 6. Milwaukee (Raps - Ended equal on wins with the Cavs, which is weird to think about. Bucks - Surprise packet team).
4. Washington Vs. 5. Atlanta (Wiz - Fly under the radar team. Hawks - Silly end to the year despite 2 huge wins against the Cavs. Will be a good series).
West:
1. Golden State Vs. 8. Portland. (GSW - will enter the fave. Durant back. Blaze - Im praying can win some games. Have troubled GSW in the past, but Portlands recent post season record isnt fantastic).
2. San Antonio Vs 7. Memphis (Spurs - Very well rounded team. Can go all the way. Grizz - Good luck to them, but its just not going to happen).
3. Houston Vs. 6. Oklahoma City (MVP fave series, Harden/Westbrook. Should be a very good series).
4. LA Clippers Vs. Utah (Good luck to the Jazz. Clipps have a good team, but they're just in the wrong conference).

GWS win the first of 7 (or maybe the first of 4) over the Cavs. 113:91 (Durant 38; Curry 2.

^ As a big basketball fan, I wonder how Treloar feels about this?

Now 2:0 - Cavs not really in the Warriors' class, it seems.

GSW up 3-0 now.
It's all over for the Cavs.
Big concern that Tristan Thompson has 8 points and 11 rebounds in 3 games.
Deron Williams with zero points in the series. Korver with 16 points in the series so far. JR Smith barely sighted.
Quite simply, the Cavs just don't have the bench players to help out. Maybe a healthy Bogut could have helped them out? But you cant expect LeBron and Kyrie to score 40+ every night and keep KD quiet while Curry also runs around.
Now we'll be bombarded with the "Greatest team of all time" debate.

^^^ That's still Mean Joe Greene's Steelers. Greene, Swann, Stallworth, Harris, Lambert, Blount, Bradshaw, Ham, Webster, Dungy, Bleier and Greenwood. None better, anywhere, ever, in any sport.

Cavs win game 4 and avoid the sweep.
LBJ's legacy might have taken a little bit of a hit if they were swept, but he puts in another monster performance.
Wouldnt it be something if the Cavs got it to at least a game 7 from here.

GSW win it in 5 games.
Durant the Finals MVP.
Already lots of off season speculation about many players changing clubs.
